As someone who was a huge fan of the original Pebble series, it's hard to get excited about this offering when compared to the alternatives available today with more features and a cheaper price.

I'm currently wearing the BangleJS v2 [0] which has the following going for it, all for $90USD:

* 1.3 inch 176x176 always-on 3 bit colour LCD display (LPM013M126) with backlight

* Full touchscreen (6H hardness glass)

* GPS/Glonass receiver

* Heart rate monitor

* 3 Axis Accelerometer

* 3 Axis Magnetometer

* Air Pressure/Temperature sensor

* 175mAh battery, 4 week standby time

* Full SWD debug port on rear of watch

* The OS and every app are open source, all written in Javascript

In my experience it lasts over 2 weeks with multiple daily notifications and wearing it 24/7 for HR and sleep tracking.

The Pebble was a compelling offer when it came out, but I'll have to pass on this one.
